Contrary to what most homeowners first think, conservatory blinds are not cheap. A 3m x 3m blind will often cost around £1000. This will usually be inclusive of measuring the conservatory and fitting the blinds. Naturally, fitting blinds in a larger structure will cost more than for a smaller one. The actual price is largely dependent on two factors: First, on the type of blinds needed, including the actual style and the material, and secondly, on the size and design of the conservatory itself. If you know these pieces of information you should be able to get a good idea of any conservatory blinds costs you will have to pay.
Lean to conservatories seem to be the cheapest when fitting blinds. On the other hand, Edwardian and P shaped conservatories, due to their size and style, are going to be the more expensive to fit with blinds. But then again, sometimes blinds within these types of conservatories have the same size and shape as certain lean to conservatory blinds anyway and so will be priced pretty similarly. It will really just be those blinds with the non-standard or custom shapes that will increase the overall cost for the customer.
A general price estimate from £1000 to £2000 can be made for fitting blinds in an average sized conservatory. Blinds for a 3m x 3m conservatory often cost just under £1000 while a 5m x 5m set of blinds will set you back closer to £2200. Having said this, you may be able to pick up some of the most basic, cheap conservatory blinds for under £600. Overall, this is quite an investment to make, especially for items that many people think will cost them a maximum of a few hundred pounds. Prices can be lowered by fitting all or some of your own blinds, but this will require considerable levels of skill and experience for all but the most basic conservatory designs. Obviously prices can rise over and above those we have mentioned and will be considerably more expensive in the largest structures that require remote controlled conservatory roof blinds, which can be very expensive. There is really no exact price that we can give for any one conservatory, even if you know its measurements and design.
As we have said many times already, the style of the conservatory matters and will make quite a difference to the conservatory blinds cost you can incur. Below is an estimate of some blind prices for different types of conservatories.
• Lean to conservatory 4m x 2.5m = £941
• Victorian conservatory 3m x 3m = £1248
• Edwardian conservatory 3m x 3m = £1350
• P-shaped conservatory 5m x 3m = £1950
There are two ways you can get an accurate idea of actual conservatory blinds prices that are specific to your needs. One is through visiting various online websites which offer you the service of calculating the costs. Investigating these various sites will give you different options on the type and style of blinds, as well as suggestions of what you could expect to pay if you wanted to buy DIY conservatory blinds and therefore not incur any installation and labour charges.
The other option is to go to individual suppliers and see how much they charge for supplying and fitting their blinds. This will allow you to have an actual discussion about which type of blinds will better fit your own conservatory. Also, you will get the opportunity to ask any questions about styles, size and conservatory blinds costs with that company. This is very important considering the large amount of money that you are going to spend. Furthermore, choosing the right colours and shades that will better complement your conservatory and your home is easier when you’re able to see the materials first hand.
